My story

Gary Holmes

Photographer & Technology Enthusiast

Pocket money combined with some chores I made enough money to buy the one thing I wanted, my first camera. (which I still have).

My later teens and 20's were met with further education and work, I briefly took a step back from photography but as I approached my late 20's I upgraded my gear and got back into it.

Now photography is my main hobby. I do get a lot of enquiries about my willingness to do event photography, but due to health reasons this isn't possible at the moment.

When I was around 14 years old I started programing websites using good ol' Windows Notepad. I then moved onto more advanced software packages such as Dreamweaver and Expression Web. My current website uses a wordpress based theme, with it's own unique user interface.

As far as photography software packages go, I started with Photoshop CS2 (2005) and have since moved onto Photoshop and Lightroom CC. I like to edit some photographs as I like to portray a story. I like the viewer to feel drawn into them. I also clean up photographs using photoshop. Sometimes they just need a little tweaking.
